  • I understand you think it's lame, but I was trying to do better for not only myself, but my family.
  • Complete sense! I completely agree with you. I have a sedentary lifestyle because I work as a Technical Support rep and sit at a desk all day. I am trying to incorporate more moving into my daily lifestyle. I have been walking a little bit, but I am about to go hardcore in the gym! I think if I combine all of y'all's…
  • Congrats on being sober! I will definitely have to check out this book you speak of! Thanks!
  • I completely agree with you! I 'want' a certain type of food and I feel if I give into eating it, I have done bad. I definitely feel like my relationship with food is a love/hate relationship. :love: :mad:
  • NO problem! :bigsmile:
  • This hits home! If I eat when I feel like I'm starving, I do tend to overeat and realize after the fact that I'm OVERFULL. Thanks for the advice! :D
  • I appreciate that! I also prefer to eat thin crust pizza because I like it better than the greasy bready pizza, but with 2 kids and a husband that prefer cheese stuffed crust or pan crust..

  • Awesome!!! Congrats! You have come a long way already and I look forward to seeing more progress! :)
  • Welcome! I am new to the community, but not MFP. I have used it before and I believe it is a GREAT tool to monitor caloric intake. I also LOVED the way I felt when I was running before, but like you, I gave up when the scale quit changing. I have to be honest and say this: you should weigh yourself so you know exactly how…
  • Thank y'all all SO much for the encouragement and support! I really look forward to interacting with all of y'all and us meeting our goals together!
  • "You have such a pretty face" - a bunch of different people "You are just a natural big-boned woman and that looks good on you" - family members trying to make me feel better about being overweight because everyone else in the family is overweight. My whole childhood, I was told we were big-boned and it was okay to eat a…
  • I am 28 and trying out the message boards for motivation, tips, etc. I also think it's important to have people around my age to talk to about weight loss because it affects everyone differently and we may find someone that is in a situation similar to ours that can help support!
